This is pure beauty! Michaelyn is having (had) baby #4 and it's a BOY! I had the pleasure of photographing Molly the smallest of the wee ones a couple of years back. Now I get to photograph her brother when he makes his appearance...

As you may recall we celebrated Jiggy Day 2012 with 20 things I love about Halia Rae. Jiggy Day is a special day because it is a celebration of life. A celebration of our children. Who they were, who they are and who they are going to be. This year my good friend Lisa's daughter Jocie...

Meet the Olsen family, party of 3 soon to be 4! This session had it all, children, family & maternity. When I first met Natalie I immediately liked her. She is one tough cookie. Like me she is a runner and ran until she was 35 weeks pregnant. I LOVE IT!! When Natalie told me how much her family loves the outdoors I knew the perfect spot for their session. We met at Sycamore Grove Park in Livermore CA. I love this place!Almost 2 year old Frank just loved collecting rocks and tossing them into the creek. I think he could have stayed here for days.

Natalie and Geoff met in Veterinary school. Geoff is an Avian Veterinary and Natalie is a veterinarian as well. Aren't they adorable? Frank helped me take this photo. More to come later on how to keep the wee ones entertained during a shoot.

This one is my favorite shot!

How beautiful is that belly?

This was Geoff's favorite shot.

I can't wait to meet you baby sister!

Frank I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I can't wait to meet your baby sister! Olsen family you stole my heart.

The more and more time I spend photographing families the more I fall in love with family sessions. On this day we met at Sycamore Grove Park in Livermore California. Oh my is this location beautiful! I went back the following week and took my Christmas card pictures here (I'll share those later). Lots of trees for the boys to climb and tons of leaves to run in. The Adams family was by far the funnest family to shoot. We played games, we talked, we ran around and boy did I enjoy every minute of it! I felt very honored to photograph such a beautiful family. I got to know each boy individually.

Meet the Adams family...all 6 of them!

4 is the smallest. I could squeeze those cheeks for days!

1 is the toughest one!

3 is the hardest one to catch!

2 is the sweetest one!

Put all 4 together and this is what you get.

Add 1 and 1 to 4 and that makes 6!

Here are the 2 who hold it all together!

I just love the shots that I caught as we were wrapping things up. Are we done yet?
